Customer Reviews Xero Shoes Prio

These shoes are built tough, I have a pair that I have worn at work for 2 years just to see how long they would last and they are still holding up but are nearing there end. I am a mechanic and I am on my feet all day and the shoes get exposed to oil and gas and coolant all the time with no issues. The inner lining of the shoes gave out first but didnt effect the comfort level more of a visual thing when putting on or taking off. Bottom line is Zero shoes are awesome, I own many pairs for different occasions.

I bought these shoes a year ago. When I first tried wearing them they felt really good on my right foot, but within a few minutes my left foot was in excruciating pain. So I put the shoes in my closet, considered them a waste of money and forgot about them. I had a injury to the ball of my left foot when I was in the military and since then have struggled with finding footwear that I could walk comfortably in. I eventually had to resort to custom orthodics and shoes in order to not be in pain with every step. About a month ago I read the book 'Born To Run' about indigenous running people in Mexico that could run 100's of miles with nothing, but rubber Sandals on their feet. The book also discussed how modern footwear was developed and why modern shoes are bad for your feet. After reading the book I was reminded of my pair Xero Prior collecting dust in my closet. So, I decided to give them another try. I started slow wearing them for a few minutes at a time several times a day. Then gradually increased my time wearing them based on how my feet felt. I am now wearing my Xero shoes almost exclusively and for the first time in 20 years I don't have pain in the ball of my left foot. Today I noticed that the soles of my feet are becoming very muscular and th skin on my feet are becoming thick and tough. I am so glad I decided to give these shoes another try. The more I wear them the more comfortable they get. I also love the biofeedback I get from being able to feel the ground under my feet. I feel more stable and my balance has improved because of it. Highly recommend, however you may need to make the transition very very slowly.

Light. Airey. My feet have never felt better.

These shoes are excellent. I walk in them everyday, averaging 7km, and have had no issues. Took about a day or two to get used to them as you end up using different muscles and tendons to adjust, but once made, hips, knees, all joints, are much improved.

While I love the look and feel of these shoes, after 2 months the sole is splitting apart from the side of the shoe and also at the front under the toes which has tripped me up a couple of times on my runs. I switched to these shoes from merrell trail gloves. While I do like these better than the trail gloves, they tended to at least last a year or so while rotating my shoes.

I think these shoes are a great product. I am using the Prio as my racquetball shoes. I did get some great negative feedback when I landed on my heel, but I have adjusted and love using them now. Interesting enough, when I put my very high dollar court shoe on now, it feels that I have no support whatsoever. It feels like I am going to lose my balance.

I love that these have the comfort I've come to expect from Xero - the soles are fantastic, and the padding around the ankle is nice. The lacing system works well, and I really feel like I can move in these and all of it feels very natural. Also, LOVE the Lunar colorway - they look stylish, but professional enough to wear to work. Excellent shoe overall, probably will buy again when they wear out.

I love the zero shoes. I'll be glad when you're inventory is up to demand I'm yet to actually be able to order the shoe I initially wanted.

Great shoe for almost any activity, yet still classy enough for a casual night out. Great fit and comfort.

The Prio shoes have helped reduce plantar fasciitis pain quite a bit.

Great shoe! Comfortable from the first wear and fit great on my feet. I am a size 15-16 and the prio fits great and is great for every day wear and training

So far, these shoes have been great. They have the nearly 0 soles that I have come to appreciate from Xero shoes. They also are holding up well - I walk a lot for my job and these seem sturdy and we'll made.

I buy a pair a few times a year. Love them always

Because I love my Xero Shoes so much, I bought these for my husband who is in his late 70s and has never worn a shoe like this before. He loves them, feels sure-footed in them, and only wears Xero Shoes now. He wears his Prio shoes as an everyday pair and the hiking boots for our trail walks. I love how these shoes meet the needs of people of all ages for healthy footwear.

I just purchased my second pair and I have a third that my son purchased for me. They felt a bit strange at first but now I can feel the floor and I seem to be able to grip the floor with my bare feet. Theyre super comfortable and look great. The only shoes I wear now.

I love these shoes! Im 63 230 and walk at least 2.5 miles a day. It does take some time to get use to wearing these shoes. It has changed the way I walk. I even played tennis & golf in them. My advice is to listen to your feet and take your time to transition to zero shoes.

I bought my first Prios this past fall. Bought my second and third pair a month ago and think I have found a brand for the rest of my life.

Probably the best shoe I've ever owned. I'm a chef and when I wore out my last pair of kitchen clogs I started wearing these and I will never go back. Comfort for 10+ hours on my feet, grip on all but the slickest of surfaces, and they come clean easier than any other shoe I've tried. Add that to how good they feel hiking, biking, and running and I don't wear anything else at this point.

Incredible , my balance and posture has improved , my daughter who is a DPT talked me into wearing them and I absolutely love them !!

These are very comfortable, plenty of Rome in the toe to keep from crushing my feet. They are slight and grippy, with just enough protection from gravel etc to make me confident in walking anywhere.

Great shoes and great customer service

I really love the shoes. They are comfortable. I enjoy running in them.

I love my hero's walking long distance and I feel fresh..

These have been perfect for running. They have enough sole to reduce the feel of the sidewalks and roads, but enough flexibility to feel natural on my arches and ankles.

Nice fit( I have 2E shoe size and the shoes fit well.) Takes
